I was not sure that it could happen, but it did. It looks like Organized Labor is turning on Obamacare, (otherwise know as the Affordable Care Act). The group UNITE HERE has issued a report. I have embedded a copy of this report below for your convenience. In this report it states "the ACA threatens the middle class with higher premiums, loss of hours, and a shift to part-time work and less comprehensive coverage"

In addition this report goes on to state: Having already made efforts to accommodate businesses, churches and congressional staff, it is ironic that the Administration is now highlighting issues of economic inequality without acting to preserve health plans that have been achieving the goals of the ACA for decades. Without a smart fix, the ACA will heighten the inequality that the Administration seeks to reduce.We take seriously the promise that “if you like your health plan, you can keep it. Period.” UNITE HERE members like their health plans. UNITE HERE’s plans are ready to compete with the corporate giants of the health insurance industry if Washington will simply create a level playing field.

This report was sent to every union around the country as well as being sent to Capitol Hill. Looks like organized labor just declared war on the current administration

I can make a firm pledge, under my plan, no family making less than $250,000 a year will see any form of tax increase. Not your income tax, not your payroll tax, not your capital gains taxes, not any of your taxes.” – Barack Obama

We remember this famous pledge from President Obama. Unfortunately, it will not end up being true. This will effect all of us. A 1% increase in the cost of food/dining out adds up over time. Check out this video from Local 6 in Orlando.

Well here we go again. The CBO, (Congressional Budget Office), came out with a report that says raising the Federal Minimum Wage to $10.10 an hour would lift 900,000 people out of poverty. Awesome! Less poor people! Well, there is one problem. There are 45 million people that will be below the poverty line this year so this is barely a 2% decrease in the amount of people in poverty. Why not do it you ask? Because that same report says raising the minimum wage to $10.10 an hour would cost 500,000 jobs!. That means there will not be as many people available to pay for the goods these minimum wage workers are producing.We had an earlier post that explained in detail how raising the minimum wage would cost jobsWe would love to hear your comments on this! Make sure you respond below

President Obama decided it was necessary to bring up a salacious comment during his State of the Union address. He claimed, erroneously, that women only make 77% of what men do. The video below will help to dispel that myth as well as give women very sage career planning advice.
